Added a new “despedida” label to our word wall bulletin board bundle. Will put in inside of door and ask students “te vas?” As they walk out of room. #spanishteacher #iteachspanish #spanishclassWe just updated one of our favorite lessons by adding this comprehension quiz. Tell the story of Juan y Karen, then play the song Fotografía by Juanes. Your students will LOVE this song, guaranteed. If you already own it on TpT redownload for free update. If not, this will soon become one of your favorite lessons. #spanishteacher #spanishlesson #spanishtribe #iteachspanish #juanes #tprs #comprehensibleinput #cistrategiesSay it out loud. #chiste #spanishteacherEach trimester I require my students to read 2 novels (in English) about the Hispanic culture.
